Quality Control

Our 8-Chloronaphthalene-1-thiol is manufactured under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via IR and NMR spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and bases. Due to the presence of the thiol group, which can be sensitive to oxidation, it is recommended to handle under an inert atmosphere for long-term storage of opened containers.
